Re-using roles defined in web.xml file
Hello everyone,
I need to authenticate visitors to my site using ldap. Based on some ldap
attributes, I can determine which role a person should be in. Is there a
way I can dynamically associate users with the roles defined in the web.xml
file?

Tomcat 4.1 has JNDIRealm, which can be used to talk to an LDAP server:

The only way that it could be done is to provide a custom realm to this
yourself.
Can you not just put the roles into LDAP?
